Checking of Refrigerant LeaksINFOID:0000000005396531
Perform a visual inspection of all refrigeration parts, fittings, hoses and components for signs of A/C oil leak-
age, damage and corrosion. A/C oil leakage may indicate an area of refrigerant leakage. Allow extra inspec-
tion time in these areas when using either an electronic refrigerant leak detector or fluorescent dye leak
detector.
If dye is observed, confirm the leak with an electronic refrigerant leak detector. It is possible a prior leak was
repaired and not properly cleaned.
When searching for leaks, do not stop when one leak is found but continue to check for additional leaks at all
system components and connections.
When searching for refrigerant leaks using an electronic leak detector, move the probe along the suspected
leak area at 25 to 50 mm (1 to 2 in) per second and no further than 1/4 inch from the component.

Moving the electronic leak detector probe slower and closer to the suspected leak area will improve
the chances of finding a leak.
Checking System for Leaks Using the Fluorescent Leak DetectorINFOID:0000000005396532
1. Check A/C system for leaks using the UV lamp and safety goggles J-42220 in a low sunlight area (area
without windows preferable). Illuminate all components, fittings and lines. The dye will appear as a bright
green/yellow area at the point of leakage. Fluoresc ent dye observed at the evaporator drain opening indi-
cates an evaporator core assembly (tubes, core or expansion valve) leak.
2. If the suspected area is difficult to see, use an adjustable mirror or wipe the area with a clean shop rag or
cloth, with the UV lamp for dye residue.
3. After the leak is repaired, remove any residual dye using dye cleaner J-43872 to prevent future misdiag- nosis.
4. Perform a system performance check and verify the leak repair with an approved electronic refrigerant leak detector.
NOTE:
Other gases in the work area or substances on the A/C components, for example, anti-freeze, windshield
washer fluid, solvents and oils, may falsely trigger the leak detector. Make sure the surfaces to be checked are
clean.
Clean with a dry cloth or blow off with shop air.
Do not allow the sensor tip of the detector to contact with any substance. This can also cause false readings
and may damage the detector.
Dye InjectionINFOID:0000000005396533
(This procedure is only necessary when recharging t he system or when the compressor has seized and was
replaced.)
1. Check A/C system static (at rest) pressure. Pres sure must be at least 345 kPa (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm
2, 50
psi).
2. Pour one bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) of the A/C refrigerant dye into the injector tool J-41459.
3. Connect the injector tool to the A/C low-pressure side service fitting.
4. Start engine and switch A/C ON.
5. When the A/C operating (compressor running), inject one bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) of fluorescent dye
through the low-pressure service valve using dye injector tool J-41459 (refer to the manufacture’s operat-
ing instructions).
6. With the engine still running, disconnect the injector tool from the service fitting.
CAUTION:
Be careful the A/C system or replacing a componen t, pour the dye directly into the open system
connection and proceed wi th the service procedures.
7. Operate the A/C system for a minimum of 20 minutes to mix the dye with the system oil. Depending on the
leak size, operating conditions and location of the leak , it may take from minutes to days for the dye to
penetrate a leak and become visible.
Electronic Refrigerant Leak DetectorINFOID:0000000005396534
PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING LEAK DETECTOR
When performing a refrigerant leak check, use an A/C electrical leak
detector (SST) or equivalent. Ensure that the instrument is calibrated
and set properly per the operating instructions.
The leak detector is a delicate device. In order to use the leak detec-
tor properly, read the operating instructions and perform any speci-
fied maintenance.
